There are fewer and fewer places on our planet that are free from human intrusion. Popular national parks are packed with tourists in the summer. The sound of honking horns and car alarms drowns out bird calls and howling wolves. But there are places so remote that human noise is practically nonexistent. This isn’t to say these places are silent. In fact, nature can be loud when left (relatively) undisturbed. Click through to check out some of your planet’s quietest places.

Thank you Katie for a glimpse of these most wonderous places that remain untouched. I would like to see the Hoh Valley in Washington State., but without any roads it would not be possible. It reminds me very much of the Great Bear Rain Forest of Southern British Columbia. There are also no roads, but there are many rivers, channels, streams and fjords. The growth is as lush, tropical, and velvety.
